Nest Doorbell Battery: How To Restart, Factory Reset & Reconnect To A Network Tutorial!

[@afiafokuo5276]

Thank you so much! This video was very very easy to follow and helped me resolve my problem… I even called for Google assistance / customer service for my doorbell and floodlights (due to my new router)… and was told something was wrong with my device 😬

I’ve been trying to fix my doorbell for 3 days this fixed it in less than 5 mins 🎉

[@TechCrackedWeekly]

Glad to be of assistance. 🫡

Thank you. I didn't have any literature on this piece of equipment. Your video helped.

[@TechCrackedWeekly]

Your welcome Daniel. Thanks for the feedback. 🙂

[@MazichMusic]

Your directions were clear and concise and I was able to connect my unit to my new network. I was giving up hope...

[@TechCrackedWeekly]

Thanks!

[@conniehannah4261]

My wifi setup doesn't make it past the QR code. It'll search for wifi but then say "try moving your doorbell closer " over and over and over again... even tho the doorbell is sitting next to my phone or directly on top of it. Never even gets to the wifi settings. My doorbell camera was perfectly fine before I got a new fios cord. Everything else connected but my doorbell. That's the camera I need the most...smh

[@dumpsterdivingqponqueen9499]

Mine wont connect keeps saying make sure both connected to same wifi but i cant get that far

[@lilrockstar77]

Thanks

[@tremelecobbs171]

Thanks for the information. I changed my wifi password and tried to reconnect my doorbell based on information the home app, Google, and an ADT tech service gave me was not helpful at all. Found your video after watching several others and was easy. Other resources left out the part where the restart button needed to be press and held down. Now I need to help with connecting my outdoor ADT cameras. Sound like I have to get on a latter and press a button on the back of the cameras wish there was an easier way to just update Wi-Fi passwords in the apps.

[@TechCrackedWeekly]

Glad to help Tremele and I agree with the frustrations of having to reset WiFi passwords as I've done this several times myself. 🫤

[@justinkahl6974]

I used an earring for the pin and it worked great 😂

Awesome sauce! 🦸‍♂️ You're most welcome. 🫡

[@Justenergygigi]

Hello, I have gone through all of these steps for the past 3 days. I will get as far as the “plug in your device” step and it will try to “connect” but it never makes it to the “looking for Wi-Fi” step. After it tries for about 3 minutes or so, it then tries to “connect to other devices (or something like that)” then I get the dreaded message “Something is wrong….” The device is wired to my existing doorbell and has worked just fine since I had it installed in May. The only reason I removed it to reinstall it is because it just suddenly went offline and never came back online. All other wi-if devices in my house work fine. I even tried the reset button. SOS!!! Any help you can provide, I’d be so grateful!

[@msmglae1095]

I’m currently having this same problem and I can’t figure it out… did you ever find out the problem?

[@Justenergygigi]

@@msmglae1095 I disconnected it from the doorbell wires and plugged it up and I was able to get it reconnected.

[@jenniecore]

That worked well. Thank you!!!

[@TechCrackedWeekly]

You're welcome Jennie. Thank you for stopping by. 🙂🤝

[@serjluvr15]

Mine won't even let me choose doorbell. It just asked that I'm connected to Bluetooth and it keeps searching. Won't find or connect. Don't have the option to scan QR code either. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

[@stef.b7012]

My doorbell still indicates that it is inactive but I don't know what to do anymore... do you have any tips on how to get the doorbell active again? I can still see who is in front of it and what is happening in front of my door

Mine won’t even factory reset I can hold it longer than 15 seconds and nothing

[@maverickhunterjames]

Thanks, I forgot how to take it off.

[@TechCrackedWeekly]

Glad to help James. 🫡 Thanks for stopping by.

[@missglenda30]

After the factory reset, it will not connect to my wi-fi any ideas to fix this?

[@TechCrackedWeekly]

Hi Glenda, Sorry for the late response, but I wanted to answer this as it may help someone else. The factory reset removes it from your network, so you'll want to go into the Google Home app and add is as though it's a new device again which requires connecting it to your network again. 🙂

[@Saf_]

Hi sir. I'm having issues hearing people and talking to people through the Google home app. Would a factory reset be a good step for me? Thank you

[@TechCrackedWeekly]

This might help. First, you may already tried this, but see if you can change the angle or position of the doorbell. If you have someone who can stand outside, have them place it on the wall differently and see if the audio improves. I did check the settings for the doorbell in the home app, and it looks like you can only change the volume of your voice under Audio. So this might help solve the problem a little, but I did not see an option on changing the volume for people speaking into the doorbell unfortunately. I would try the reset as a last ditch effort. 🙂

[@Saf_]

@Pixels Cracked okay thank you I'll try moving it, weird though as sound seems to work fine through the hub2, just the home app is where it struggles so I assumed perhaps the pairing went wrong somewhere. All audio is set to full and no issues with phone speaker. I'll give this a go! Thank you so much for replying I appreciate your time

[@andreah8553]

yes, but how do you get the dang thing off the door frame?

[@TechCrackedWeekly]

Hi Andrea, Great question! There is a tool that comes in the kit to quickly remove the doorbell. It works really well, but you can also use a very thin flathead screwdriver as well to remove it. :)

[@jsmittyspiritualjedi511]

@@TechCrackedWeekly Or, you can use a small flat/straight screwdriver to press the button down and lift up while holding the button down.

[@NoahWalshy6861]

Mine won’t turn on at all no lights come on and reset doesn’t do anything either. It’s like it died

[@pluggy1807]

Probably dead and needed to charge first

[@geraldgonsalvesii3316]

What happens if you cannot read a QR code?

[@jasonyarbor5566]

Mines won’t power up

[@TechCrackedWeekly]

It could take a bit of time if it's completely dead. Have you been able to get it up and running?

[@tweetalig]

My Nest Doorbell can't be discovered.

Having the same issue on my side. New WIFI network, factory reset the doorbell. Worked for 2 days then went offline. Cant seem to discover it now when trying to set it up again
